“Spider-Man: Far From Home” will be the 7th Spider-Man film we’ve gotten since 2002’s “Spider-Man.” ‘Far From Home’ is set to swing into theaters on July 5, 2019. It will be another MCU mega-hit, no doubt about it. I’ve had more than enough with these constant rebootings of “Spider-Man,” it does seem that Tom Holland is here to stay, he embodies Peter Parker in ways Andrew Garfield just couldn’t, but my excitement for a new Spider-Man movie has been on a downward spiral ever since I heard Raimi was gone and it was being rebooted, before this new reboot with Holland.
And yet, “Spider-Man 2" is still, far and away, the best webslinger movie ever. It may also be the most perfect superhero movie ever made - Its director Raimi was the guy that came closest to pouring Stan Lee's brains onto the screen.
I wrote about the film:
“A mind blowing mix of action, heart and character that had viewers on the edge of their seats. The special effects are outstanding and the action sequences, including a thrilling speeding-train finale, make this a knockout through and through. Raimi knows that to make a great superhero movie you need to care about the characters that are onscreen and, with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst along for the ride, he makes sure every shot counts. Also Alfred Molina, as Doctor Octopus, makes a very strong case for the title of greatest Marvel movie villain of all-time.”
